Clot Shiver

shiver and shape and top clot
mute and moan and rinse clot
fold and fake and pill clot
nap and numb and user clot
roof and rubber and lake clot
plan and plunge and singer clot
gorge and gouge and pencil clot
laugh and loose and dimmer clot
hell and hump and sandwich clot

Corn Ice

corn shot and dome your fork
fuel shot and nod your leg
mute shot and crave your sink
blank shot and pile your hat
mate shot and birth your gravel
noose shot and bong your phone
gate shot and trust your ice

Sweeps

sweep the ham off the sky
sweep the luck off the coin
sweep the strunt off the club
sweep the should off the sank
sweep the troak off the blunt
sweep the house off the tongue
sweep the crash off the shoulder
sweep the umpf off the trying to
sweep the rut off the cloud

Baste Idea

baste the hammer with your dung idea
lop the shoelace with your crawl idea
shame the toilet with your foil idea
jerk the lunchmeat with your lung idea
stage the swordfish with your black idea
comb the driveway with your blink idea
bomb the salad with your brick idea

And Reap

reap the rotting soap and
off the silly cash and
tub the sandwich suit and
tear the shapeless air and
ink the shoulder gas and
numb the whistle loot and
grab the reeking tongue and

The Must

must clam the must for the
must nod the limp was the
must ash the plank hack the
must pile the hog moat the
must lip the crunch clod the
must seal the hole reek the
must time the lock smoke the
must rot the must snore the
